Corolla greenish yellow, campanulate, tube 1.1–2 × 1.6 cm, lobes 1–0.8 × 0.4 cm, at base obovate, at apex angulate; stamens 0.9–2.8 cm, isodynamous, adnate, conation 1.3 cm, anthers basifixed; ovary 8 × 3 mm, style 0.4–2.5 cm, stigma bilobed. Fruit septicidal capsule.

Habitat and distribution:— Prepusa montana is the only species of its genus occurring in the Cerrado and “campo rupestre” of Bahia, is considered as endemic ( Siqueira et al. 2014, Calió et al. 2015) and restricted to Chapada Diamantina (Calió 2009, Siqueira et al. 2014) in the cities of Andaraí, Lençóis, Morro do Chapéu and Mucugê ( Siqueira et al. 2014). In addition, it is also considered one of the rare species in Brazil ( Calió & Guimarães 2009). It is also classified, according to risk categories of the Red List of Endangered Species ( IUCN 2020), as a vulnerable species (VU) ( IUCN 2020, CNCFlora 2014a, Guimarães et al. 2014). In the present work, the distribution modeling analysis corroborates this distribution restricted to the Chapada Diamantina areas, with a greater suitability to the Chapada areas and allowing inferences to be extrapolated only to nearby locations, such as, for example, Catolés and Pico das Almas, compared in this study ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 , Fig. 2C View FIGURE 2 , Fig. 3E View FIGURE 3 , Fig. 4C View FIGURE 4 , Appendix 1).

Comments:—This species is also the only one with a shrubby or arboreal habit, unlike the others that are herbaceous ( Siqueira et al. 2014). Can be found with flowers from February to October ( Siqueira et al. 2014).
